Eastpointe man charged with murder
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — A Detroit man has succumbed to knife wounds following an altercation at an Eastpointe home.
Nico Trevon Nettles, 26, of Eastpointe, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the case. The victim is Rashid Aliakbar, 28, of Detroit.
Nettles’ attorney, Joshua Duane Jones, with the Macomb County Office of Public Defender, did not return a request for comment by press time.
The incident occurred May 12 at a home in the 17000 block of Toepfer Drive in Eastpointe. Officers arrived on a report of a stabbing and found Aliakbar wounded in the chest. They began lifesaving measures until the Eastpointe Fire Department and MedStar arrived, at which point the paramedics took over and transported Aliakbar to a local hospital. He later died from his wounds.
Nettles reportedly remained on scene at the residence. Police detained him, investigated the scene and recovered evidence.
Nettles was arraigned before Magistrate
the recent wave of crime that has hit Eastpointe — including a shooting that left two people dead and a stabbing in which one person was killed — a group of pastors recently gathered with about 125 residents to lift the community in prayer and denounce violence.

ROSEVILLE — Alumni and former staff members of Roseville Community Schools went back to class May 10.
The district held open houses at two locations, Roseville High School and Roseville Middle School, to celebrate 100 years of Roseville Community Schools. Roseville High
School, located at 17855 Common Road, was once called Carl Brablec High School. Roseville Middle School, located at 16250 Martin Road, used to be Roseville High School. The change was made in 1989 to accommodate the district’s size at the time.
When the high schools combined, students were able to choose their new school colors, black and red, and a new mas-
EASTSIDE COMMUNITY CHAMBER DEBUTS NEW NAME
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — After several years in the making, the Eastpointe-Roseville Chamber of Commerce has a new name.
On May 12, the organization officially became the Eastside Community Chamber. Members of the chamber felt a name change was needed to bring a more regional continuity to the organization and the businesses it represents. “Where business meets community” is its motto.
The chamber includes businesses from Eastpointe, Roseville, Fraser, Warren, St. Clair Shores, Mount Clemens and Clinton Township. The chamber supports the interests of businesses through networking, community relations and building relationships with local government, schools and residents. Currently, there are 247

Eastpointe police investigate drive-by shooting
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Detectives with the Eastpointe Police Department are investigating a drive-by shooting that wounded a man.

Roseville man pleads no contest to killing housemate
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
ROSEVILLE — A Roseville man pleaded no contest May 20 in Macomb County Circuit Court to killing his housemate in a fight last year.
Mark Joseph Newsome, 54, killed his housemate Dale Francis Mitchell, 72, on Jan. 31, 2024, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. The two men lived in a boarding house in Roseville where, as previously reported in the Eastsider, residents rented rooms and shared a common space. One of the home’s other tenants reportedly saw the fight between Newsome and Mitchell. This housemate called the Roseville Police Department.
The press release states officers found Mitchell bruised, bleeding and unconscious. Members of the Roseville Fire Department attempted to resuscitate Mitchell. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Newsome was arrested at the scene without incident, according to the release.
Newsome was originally charged with second-degree murder, which was dismissed. He instead pleaded no contest to manslaughter with a sentence agreement of five to 15 years in prison.
“Mr. Mitchell’s life was cut short in the very dwelling that should have been his safe place. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office stands as the voice of the victim to achieve justice for this horrible act by Mr. Newsome,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido. “Conflicts between individuals should never be settled by violence.”
Mark C. Haddad, Newsome’s attorney, did not respond to a request for comment at press time.
Newsome is set to be sentenced in circuit court June 24 by Judge Richard Caretti.

ROSEFEST RETURNS TO MEMORIAL PARK
ROSEVILLE — RoseFest is back for its second year, following a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide family fun at Memorial Park. The event will take place from 3 to 11 p.m. June 14.
“It’s a great way for the city, the City Council and the mayor to give back to the residents,” City Manager Ryan Monroe said.
RoseFest started in 2014 but was halted due to the global pandemic. While food and beverages are available for purchase, the event is otherwise free of charge.
This year’s festival will feature many of the same events offered in 2024, according to Monroe. Attendees can enjoy activities such as a foam party, family Nerf gun wars, kids crafts and activities, a screening of a family film, bounce houses, an adult beverage tent, and live music.
This year’s event will not have the zip line, which was offered in 2024, but it will have a rock wall for attendees to scale.
“The zip line was popular, but it was also very expensive, so we wanted more of a variety of things to do instead of just one big event,” Monroe said.
The city is still looking for sponsors and vendors for RoseFest, according to Monroe. For more information, call (586) 445-5440.

Fire Department awards badge, receives donation at Roseville City Council meeting
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
ROSEVILLE — Firefighter/paramedic Jessica Krali received her badge from her father, Richard, at the Roseville City Council’s May 13 meeting.
Krali thanked those who helped her along the way. She said she’s “proud to be here, happy to serve and excited for the years to come.”
Fire Chief Keith Jacobs said Krali studied at Northern Michigan University, earning a bachelor’s degree in athletic training in 2015.
“She didn’t feel like this was 100% for
her, so she decided to move into medical emergency services,” Jacobs said.
Krali received her emergency medical technician certification from Life Support Training Institute and started with Superior Ambulance Service. In 2023, she obtained her paramedic’s license from Macomb Community College. The following year she entered Roseville’s cadet program.
“This cadet program was brought back due to the lack of firefighter/paramedics, at that time, that were applying at local cities, including ours,” Jacobs said. “The last time the city sent a cadet to the fire academy was in the early ’90s.”

C & G Newspapers staffers recognized with 17 journalism awards
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Seven C & G Newspapers staffers received 17 awards from the Society of Professional Journalists-Detroit Chapter’s Excellence in Journalism awards and the Michigan Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest.
Nearly 300 awardees were announced by SPJ Detroit at its Excellence in Journalism banquet at the San Marino Club in Troy May 14. The C & G journalists won their awards in the Print Class C division.
Maria Allard, a staff writer for the Eastsider, the Sterling Heights Sentry and the Warren Weekly, won first place in the feature reporting category of the Excellence in Journalism awards for “Behind the Wheel: Camping trails from the dusty roads of the Southwest to the Atlantic City Boardwalk.” Judges commented, “What a pleasure to read. The crazily exact details up high kept me reading to see where they came from. After that, a childhood worth of great stories.” Allard also took home second place in
the general reporting category for the story, “Fallen GIs remembered an ocean away.”
“I was so happy to hear that I received two awards from SPJ for stories I loved writing and hoped our readers enjoyed,” Allard said. “I also want to congratulate my co-workers who earned awards. I know how hard we all work here at C & G Newspapers, and it’s nice when others notice that.”
Mike Koury, staff writer for the Woodward Talk, took first place in the consumer/watchdog reporting category for the article,“Ferndale bar lives to see another day.” Judges said, “Good reporting on the potential loss of a community business with interesting insight on the transfers of liquor licenses.” Koury also won first place in the open reporting category for “Ferndale voters reject Headlee millage restoration,” with judges commenting, “Solid coverage on an important local taxing issue.”

Allard
Kozlowski also earned second place in the community/local news reporting category for the story “Animal rescue in crisis after its Facebook account is closed.”
Koury said it’s “always nice to be recognized.”
“I’m flattered by both awards from SPJ Detroit and I appreciate the continued support and readership from everyone that reads the Woodward Talk,” he said.
Andy Kozlowski, staff writer for the Madison-Park News and Eastsider, won first place in the general reporting category of the Excellence in Journalism awards for the story, “City Hall conference room named after Lindell Ross.” Judges said, “What could have been a routine story about the honoring of a former city council member is transformed into thorough background reporting that sets the stage for the councilman’s reflections on the times.”
Kozlowski said he enjoyed meeting this former councilman from Madison Heights and learning about “how he served the people there by protecting parks and public health.”
“His life story made for great material,” he added.
“The Animal Welfare Society of Southeastern Michigan was at risk of closing after Facebook shut down its network,” Kozlowski said. “Thankfully, a data analyst saw my story and worked with Facebook to get it restored.”
Charity Meier, staff writer for the Farmington Press and the Novi Note, earned first place in the health reporting category for “Novi police officer’s wife spreading awareness after breast cancer diagnosis,” in the Excellence in Journalism awards. Judges commented, “What made this story compelling was the human element. The second paragraph would make a better lead, but overall the voices of the patient, her husband, doctors and the use of data came together to shine light on a less common form of breast cancer. Katie’s and Adam’s courage in telling their story could help others. The writer did a good job of letting them speak.”
“I am thrilled to have been recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists for my coverage of a rare form of breast cancer, which is common among women during childbearing years. I commend Katie Mc-

Violence

Bishop Eric Lloyd, of Rhema International Church in Harper Woods, organized a prayer walk May 16 that lined Kelly Road near Eight Mile Road. Together, the group walked several streets from Rhema International Church, crossed over into Detroit, up to Juliana Avenue in Eastpointe, and returned to the church.
“We want to bring awareness to the violence. We want the violence to stop,” Lloyd said. “Eight Mile and Kelly is the area God has given us, and we want to stop the violence from happening.”
Bishop Daryl Harris, president of Ceasefire Detroit and Detroit Community Clergy Alliance, led the prayer walk. Using a megaphone, he called out several chants, which the crowd echoed, including “No more violence, no more killing, no more shootings, enough is enough. Save our babies, save our children, save our families. We’re walking for peace.”
Local police briefly blocked off Eight Mile and Kelly roads for the walkers to safely cross the streets. Some drivers passing by honked their horns and waved. Several walkers formed circles and held hands as they recited prayers at different stops on the route. A few participants carried signs that read “Jesus loves you, stop the killing.”
“Get five families on your block and just make a pact of peace, love and respect for one another,” Harris said. “Detroit does not have a crime problem. Detroit does not have a violence problem. Detroit has a relationship problem. Teamwork makes the dream work.”
The participants stopped to pray a few times in front of different buildings, including the Foot Locker where the shooting occurred May 3.
“These are not just numbers we’re talking about. People were harmed here just a couple of weeks ago. People lost their lives here just a couple of weeks ago,” Harris said.

cot, the Panthers. The first combined RHS Panthers graduating class was in 1990. Alumni mingled, staff connected with former students, and building tours were offered. Refreshments were on deck, and slide shows told of the district’s history with images of school bands, athletics, past graduation ceremonies, students in class and more.
“It’s just a nice celebration,” Roseville High School Principal Jason Bettin said. “It’s nice to be able to recognize being helpful in the community for 100 years. There are thousands and thousands of students, and hopefully we’ve made a positive impact on them in school.”
Bettin took groups on tours of the high school. He said the main part of the school was built around 1967-68. The building has undergone a couple of additions since.
One stop was at the original gymnasium — with its updated roofing, sound system and bleachers — and the auxiliary gym. The weight room is used by teams, coaches and classes. There’s also a multipurpose room used by cheerleaders and for wrestling practice.
The new career and technical education wing, too, was impressive to guests. Another highlight of Bettin’s tour was viewing the large-sized paintings in the hallways produced by senior art seminar students.
“They get to pick a piece of art, research the artists and re-create it on our walls,” Bettin said. “We have 77 of them.”
Current RHS Athletic Director Keith Marzec made sure to attend the open house. He was a member of the RHS Class of 1995.
“I graduated in ’95 and never left,” he said. “All my family came through Roseville. I’m very proud to say both my daughters and wife graduated from here.”

Gee for having the courage to share her story with me, as she underwent treatment, to bring awareness to the disease and help other at-risk women,” Meier said.
K. Michelle Moran, staff writer for the Grosse Pointe Times, walked away with seven awards between the two contests. She won two awards in the feature story category of the Better Newspaper Contest — first place for “Exhibition celebrates work of acclaimed longtime artist and art educator,” and third place for “Music producer from Grosse Pointe makes sound decisions as an artist.” She also took first in the government/education news category for “Teachers, administrators leaving Grosse Pointe schools as contract talks remain unresolved.”
In the Excellence in Journalism awards, Moran took home second and third place in the education reporting category for the stories, “Language teacher brings the world to her students” and “CEO dishes about school food services during visit to North.” Moran also took second place in the feature reporting category for the story,“‘I’m just like every other kid,’ As regional youth ambassador, Grosse Pointe Woods boy raises awareness
after own diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes,” and third place in the breaking/spot news category for the story, “Gearheads make district history scoring silver medals at international competition.”
“We work so hard on these stories, so it’s always rewarding to be recognized by our peers,” Moran said.
Alyssa Ochss, staff writer for the FraserClinton Township Chronicle, Mount ClemensClinton-Harrison Journal and the St. Clair Shores Sentinel, took home second place in the breaking/spot news category of the Excellence in Journalism awards for the story “Priests move to close St. Germaine despite fundraising,” and fourth place in the community/local news reporting category for “St. Clair Shores leaders respond to double voting allegations.”
Ochss said she’s “happy and honored” to receive the awards.
“I worked hard on the two pieces I turned in and I’m glad they were recognized,” she said.
Dean Vaglia, staff writer for the FraserClinton Township Chronicle, the Macomb Township Chronicle and Mount ClemensClinton-Harrison Journal, won second place in the environment reporting category for “Animals of Metro Detroit.”

Marzec’s middle brother graduated in 1990, marking the first graduating class that combined Roseville and Brablec high school students in the newly named Roseville High School on Common Road. Marzec’s oldest brother graduated from RHS, still on Martin Road, in 1986. Marzec credits the district’s longevity to “an outstanding staff, supportive community and the people. I still get together with so many people I went to school with.”
At the open house, Marzec ran into his former home economics middle school teacher, Lori Coppola.
“She was the best home ec teacher,” he said. “Because of you, I can cook.”
“Keith was a fun student,” Coppola said. “He’s one of the ones you remember. Keith could talk to you and he’d do his work.”
At one time, Marzec was Coppola’s boss. It was during a period when he was assistant principal. Coppola, who began working in the district in 1989 and retired in 2020, said that chocolate chip cookies and spaghetti sauce were the popular items kids liked to make the most during her tenure.
Tom Guswiler also made it to the open house.
“Just about everybody coming in today, I’ve had some connection with,” he said.

members in the chamber. Memberships are renewed once a year. A membership directory comes out once a year.
“We do donate money to some of our nonprofits and schools and government activities. We work with them as far as helping with email blasts and different things to get the word out about their business,” said Dr. Chris Dyki, who is the chamber president.
“We pretty much work with anybody and anyone that wants to join,” Executive Director Linda Weishaupt said. “We do work with the government, the cities and the schools for their benefit, too. Our communities are more focused on small business. The person who is diving in and trying to start a business, the chamber tries to assist them with business plans and things they haven’t thought about.”
“We do seem to have a lot of small businesses, but we also have some large businesses. Sam’s Club has been very supportive of a lot of the efforts in our communities,” said Fraser Mayor Michael Lesich, who is the chamber vice president. “I think shopping locally helps support your local community, especially with our chamber. By buying locally you are supporting a small business that in turn is supporting organizations in your community.”
One component of the Eastside Community Chamber is making people feel welcome. For instance, members hold ribboncutting ceremonies for new businesses in the chamber.
“When we have a new fire chief, a new school superintendent, a new police chief and so forth, we always have a new meeting that introduces them to the business community,” Weishaupt said. “We also do ‘welcome bags.’ We drop them off at the city halls and they pass them out to new residents that come in to assessing with their paperwork when they’re purchasing a new home. Those go fast.”
The Eastside Community Chamber also holds a coffee hour once a month at various locations, which gives members and non-
members a chance to connect. There is usually a guest speaker. Chamber members attend for free; the cost is $5 for nonmembers.
One example of that was the Narcan training held May 19 at CARE of Southeastern Michigan in Roseville. According to Weishaupt, Eastpointe Community Schools sent several employees to the training.
The chamber board of directors also holds occasional fundraisers that in turn go back into the businesses they serve. One highlight is the Deck the Halls fundraiser every November that usually sells out.
The chamber-sponsored Salute to Excellence award dinner in which Roseville and Eastpointe students, organizations, businesses and first responders are honored is held every fall. Fraser also has a similar event known as Fraser Academy Member of Excellence in the spring.
Lesich looks forward to the new direction that the name change will bring.
“What the chamber has really allowed me to do is meet people from Eastpointe and Roseville city government. Going to these events, I have met so many people that work at these places, I talk to them and it really has helped me connect with them,” Lesich said. “Any kind of networking within our local communities can only be better. We can cross borders and work together. That’s a good thing.”
Dyki enjoys being involved with the new Eastside Community Chamber.
“I think it’s important where you hang your shingle, where you work to support the businesses in the area as well as the residents,” Dyki said. “You want to make it the best place it can be.”
The first local chamber of commerce dates back to 1922. It has had different names over the years. Weishaupt believes First State Bank is one of the earliest members.
The Eastside Community Chamber’s office is located at 24840 Gratiot Ave., Suite C, in Eastpointe. For more information, call (586) 776-5520 or visit eastsidecommunitychamber.org.

Violence
“Every time violence shows up, we need to show up.”
Eastpointe Fire Chaplain Kevin Lancaster offered blessings while at Foot Locker.
“Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ we come together as your children. We stand on this ground, God, where lives have been taken. We now pray for them, we pray for our cities, God,” Lancaster said. “We come together, God, and pray and turn away from our wicked ways, we pray that you will heal our land. We pray for peace. We pray for our children right now. We pray that they’ll experience you.”
Eastpointe City Councilman Rob Baker weighed in on the issue.
“We need to learn how to resolve issues that we have in ways that don’t include violence. I grew up in a time where people felt they had to be tough, had something to prove. We have to learn how to come together. We have to learn how to talk through things. We have to learn that everything doesn’t have to come to violence,” Baker said. “There is a way we can come to an understanding. Sometimes these problems we have are just simple misunderstandings. We’ve got to teach young people to talk about it. You don’t have to resort to your fists, because you’re not always going to be the toughest one out there.”
State Rep. Kimberly Edwards, D-Eastpointe, also provided remarks and presented
Lloyd with a state proclamation in support of his work.
“I’m really grateful for this opportunity to try to figure out how to resolve these issues,” Edwards said. “I appreciate everyone that showed up today in support of Bishop (Lloyd) and the vision that he has for our community. Once again, this is our community, and we are taking our community back.”
Lajoy Morgan, president of the LaSalle College Park Association in Detroit, was among a group whose members carried signs that read “Join us as we reclaim our streets, neighborhoods and community 4820live4peace@gmail.com.”
“We’re coming together to try to make the streets safer and standing up for the things we believe in,” Morgan said. “It’s called accountability. We’ll let our children see it.”
Michelle White, of Moms Demand Action, felt the importance of the prayer walk.
“It raises visibility surrounding the scourge of gun violence,” said White, of Grosse Pointe Park. “It brings the community together so they can form bonds to end violence. It’s a very complex issue. It’s heartbreaking. It’s devastating.
“I think it’s very difficult for a family and community to come back from a death like that, from something so violent. You feel like they were robbed. Over what?” White said. “Why is this happening? Why are we failing our kids?”
Harper Woods Mayor Valerie Kindle and Harper Woods School District Superintendent Steven McGhee also spoke at the walk.

“Winning an environmental reporting award for my series on animals surprised me at first, but these stories have inspired more calls, emails and letters from readers than any of my other articles, both with C & G and at other publications. Deer, coyotes and birds in the sky capture the curiosity of Michiganders young and old. By using my position to explore these animals and their place within metro Detroit’s ecosystems, readers are able to have their curiosities satisfied, their worlds expanded and be a better neighbor with the many creatures that also call the region their home,” Vaglia said.

Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido commended the work of the police.
“The Eastpointe Police Department performed a thorough and fast investigation that enabled the apprehension of the alleged perpetrator of this brutal crime. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office can now prosecute the defendant to the fullest extent of the law, and seek justice for the victim’s family,” Lucido stated. “Conflicts between individuals should never be settled by violence. We hope this prosecution serves as a powerful reminder that such acts of senseless violence will not be tolerated in Macomb County.”
If you know more about this case or others, call Eastpointe police at (586) 4455100.

Jacobs said Krali stepped up by helping around the station, put in overtime and attended public education events.
“From what I hear from her fellow unit firefighters, Jessica is basically just a very easygoing, great person to work with,” Jacobs said.
Michigan Credit Union Branch Manager Ashley Neirynck presented a check for $1,000 to the Roseville Fire Department at the meeting. The donation is part of the

The 1980 RHS graduate has worked as a school liaison and security officer at the high school over the years. Currently, Guswiler provides security on-site at school board meetings and other events, including band and choir concerts.
“I really enjoyed my time in the halls and formed lifelong relationships with the kids,” he said. “I’ve been around to celebrate many of their accomplishments.”
Siblings and Brablec graduates Alfred “Rick” Zini, Class of ’73; Cindy (Zini) Shermetaro, Class of ’75; and David Zini, Class of ’77, saw all the changes made at the building since they were in school.
Cindy, hoping to catch up with former teachers and students, even brought her 1975 yearbook to the open house. Walking the halls of her high school certainly brought back memories.
“It looks different because of the addi-
credit union’s Giving Back program, which aims to support community organizations.
Jacobs thanked the credit union for the donation and explained it was helpful for the department’s community outreach and education efforts. One item the donation will go toward is an inflatable firehouse for practicing exit drills in the home. He said the city is supportive of the department’s funding requests.
“Even with that, having these local companies donating back to our community helps to ensure we can do things like this, and make the citizens safe and learn as easily as possible,” Jacobs said.
tion,” she said. “It was newer looking when I came here. They really kept it up.”
Her instructors made an impact. After high school, Cindy went into nursing and became a registered nurse.
“The science teachers I had were great. They influenced our lives,” she said. “The teachers at Carl Brablec High School not only provided us with an education, but with supporting and encouraging role models. We will be forever grateful to them.”
While at Brablec, David played football and immersed himself in drafting classes, which led to his engineering career.
“It was good. I really liked it,” Alfred said of the school. “The teachers were pretty strict. I had wood shop class, drafting, electronics. I did more things with my hands. My son goes here now.”
He also remembered swimming class with Mr. Berry.
“I learned how to swim in 10th grade,” Alfred said. “I remember him getting in his shorts and jumping in the pool.”

City Hall to get new tiles
Voter-approved bond funds will provide new tiling in Roseville’s City Hall building. The single source vendor Tile Pros of Michigan LLC was awarded the contract with a unanimous vote by the council. The tiling project is part of a range of projects in the city using the bond funds.
“The next step would be to replace the tile outside of council chambers, which is original to the building, so well over 50 years old,” Monroe said. “There are some areas that are unlevel and of concern.”
Monroe explained the project will continue the previous tiling that had already

The bond funding, which was approved by voters in the November 2023 election, has gone to a variety of improvements around the city. The funds have driven improvements on two fire stations and paved the way for a splash pad in Rotary Park. According to Department of Public Services Director Rob DeBruyn, the splash pad’s ribbon-cutting was set for May 27, after press time.
